Tooth problem

Have anybody had any problem with their teeth while pregnant? I'm 16 weeks 5days pregnant and I have two cavities. My old dentist told me that they couldn't fix them while I'm pregnant. Today i was eating and part of that tooth broke :( I called a new dentist and they gave me an appointment for August 21th :( that's 3 weeks from today.

This probably sounds stupid but it hurts me emotionally because I had bracers for 4 years and when I'm finally having nice teeth and a good smile I get to have that problem. During those four years I got bullied a lot so having problems with my teeth again makes me remember all that.

I needed a root canal before I got pregnant. I am almost eight weeks and I still need one. I have to wait until my baby is born in March... I feel your pain.

Baby is taking your calcium! That's why your teeth are ao fragile during pregnancy I've never had a cavity until I got pregnant and now I have a small one, go to your dentist regularly and. Just keep brushing really good
